Maja Chwalinska, a runner-up at the French Open earlier this month, exits Wimbledon in the first round after losing a match in which she was one point away from victory. The 24-year-old from Poland is reported to have been in a winning position on match point when she slips on the grass. That moment shifts the outcome of the match, with the slip described as changing the contest and leading to her defeat.
